It seems that multiplayer games online are not given a great deal of support by the producers of Empire Total War and therefore most users who attempt to play online receive errors, like yours. I suggest perhaps contacting the producers and if you don't get a response then you could perhaps contact your store and ask for a refund or similar.

ok so I have been able to figure out this much, so far.

1.) Only through using DMZ i am able to host games, where people can join. If I trun DMZ off, they get the same message as I do. So I think i need to open ports up, because I have heard its not good to have DMZ set for a computer. I just don't know which ports i need to open.

2.)Because of what i figured in part 1., i think for me to be able to join games, i need to join people who have the correct ports opend.

Yeah, from what I have seen in the topics on the forums for Empire Total War, you and anyone you want to play with have to have the exact same ports open. It may be just a case of choosing 2 ports and making sure the people you play with have the same ports open.
